Hey guys - my grandad passed away from als last year and quite francally im terrified.
No one else in our family history has had als from what I am aware however recently after reading the symptoms and that it can be inherited I have been getting muscle twitches all over my body which occur mailnly when I sit still. I also have a heavy feeling in my left leg (in the quadriceps) and am noticing it every time I walk. Also I have a thinner left hand ( I am right handed ) and it seems to ache a lot (maybe because I am always testing it)
I can still go to the gym and do my usual work out eg pull ups, press ups and 3 miles on the bike. However I'm terrified I'm getting als. As they seems so resemble the symptoms I have found online. I'm terrified, am only 17 and am constantly thinking about it ( I have had health anxiety for 6 months now ). Can anyone give me reassurance please???!?!
Thankyou.
